Agricultural production is a source of economic, social, and livelihood development, though it leads to environmental problems and health hazards due to its pollution. According to Evanega (2017), she asserts that agriculture contributes 33% of greenhouse missions and 75% of the nitric oxide emissions. Adequate information about the environment’s composition and a variety of pollutants in agriculture and ways of preventing them is required to protect our environment. In this analysis, the paper shows two major environmental problems that are climate change and soil degradation.
Climate Changes
Agricultural production causes climate change, which affects the nature of the environment. Several farming practices, including soil erosion, contamination, moisture balance, irrigation problems, pollutants, deforestation, cause climate changes. Besides, the machines used for agriculture emit gases which cause global warming that leads to climate change. According to Abbasi, Sajid, Haq, Rahman, Misbah, Sanober & Kazi (2014), agricultural discharge greenhouse gases like nitrous oxide, ozone, and carbon dioxide from burning fuels, which affect climate change. Consequently, the agricultural system can ease these ...
